Freezing and Drying Herbs Enjoy the taste of fresh herbs all year long by freezing for later use. Cut the herbs just before the flowers open. At this point, the herb’s flavorful oils are most concentrated in the leaves, and you can maintain much of that flavor with proper storage.
Home Canning Altitude Adjustments When home canning foods, it is essential to know your local altitude or elevation. Your altitude determines the amount of pressure (pressure canner) or time (boiling water canner) for your food.
Home Food Preservation Most people preserve their food for creativity, satisfaction, or it is a family tradition. Preserving fresh, seasonal produce you purchase locally or grow at home is a rewarding experience!
